karendipity cooks: kimchi fried rice


lest you think that my kitchen is used solely for storage and reheating leftovers, i will from time to time post items that i have cooked myself...

made a giant pot of kimchi fried rice, which derek loves. not as good as the restaurant version but that's probably because i use a little bit of olive oil instead of the sticks of butter that koreans prefer. ingredients: kimchi, sirloin steak, green onions, olive oil, eggs, rice, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, garlic, sesame oil.

chop kimchi into bite-size pieces. thinly slice steak, mix with cornstarch, then season with soy sauce/sugar. heat a bit of olive oil, add onions, then add steak. chop up cooked steak into bite-sized pieces. separately, do the same thing with the scrambled eggs. in a giant pot, heat onions and garlic in olive oil, add rice, season with a bit of soy sauce, fry for a while. add kimchi. add sesame oil. continue frying to preferred crispiness level. try not to burn anything. eat.
